Spain vs Croatia prediction

2012 European Champions, Spain are set to open their Euro 2024 campaign with a really challenging fixture against Croatia in the group B (The Group of death). The La Roja with their exploits during the international friendlies have in a way proved to be in good condition to start the tournament regardless of their meeting with the ever dogged and dangerous Croatia.

Moving on, Croatia were indeed high-flying in their friendlies as they wrapped up the entire phase with 2 out of 2 wins, the biggest of which was the 1-2 win over Portugal. The Zlatko Dalic led team will of course be in their most confident of moods going into this tournament on the back of a blistering form consisting 5 wins from 5, and of course the servitude of veteran midfielder, Luka Modric who has witnessed the Vatreni at their peak and at their lowest.

Hence, Our Spain vs Croatia prediction is Both Teams To Score and we recommend the both teams to score market.
